 I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again

 But that's not unusual

 It's just that the moon is full

 And you decided to call

And here I sit, hand on the telephone

 Hearing the voice I'd known

 A couple of light years ago

 Headed straight for a fall

 But we both know what memories can bring

 They bring diamonds and rust

 Yes we both know what memories can bring

 They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair

 Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square

Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic

 Then give me another word for it

 You were so good with words

 And at keeping things vague

Cause I need some of that vagueness now

 It's all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly

 And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid

 But we both know what memories can bring

 They bring diamonds and rust

 Yes we both know what memories can bring

 They bring diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust
